I don't have any knowledge in algebra, so what would be the best way to learn it. (The only advancements I have within are things as 2+x=14 ***When x=12***)

Answer

I guess the best way to learn algebra is first being confident with your arithmetic and PEMDAS/BODMAS, then understanding how substitution works, knowing what like-terms, binomial products, squares, etc are and going through worked examples as well as solving algebraic problems yourself. Of course, to get a grasp on algebra, you should start from the basics and continue working your way up. You should be able to find resources online to help you.

Good luck!

Step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
